While Lebanon&#8217;s government and UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres protested against the occupation, Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan, who supports Pakistan\u2019s commitment to diplomacy, condemned the action as &#8220;Israeli expansionism,\u201d per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20260419-turkey-optimistic-middle-east-ceasefire-will-be-extended\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">France24<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both Russia and China have continued to trade with Iran and supply advanced technology responsible for significant damage, according to experts at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/articles\/the-iran-war-is-highlighting-and-expanding-authoritarian-collaboration\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Council on Foreign Relations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/4\/22\/how-china-is-gaining-from-iran-war-by-showing-it-is-different-from-us\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Iran&#8217;s primary trading partner, also supports reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restoring peace to the region.
